    What were the mice fed? Is this like a vegetarian low carb diet where the fats come from factory fats - seed oils?

    Does “susceptible mice” mean mice that are highly prone to cancer?

    Were they also fed carcinogens?

    There is reason to think that high meat, high animal fat diets are protective against cancer, as cancer depends on sugar
